Pronto Café

I found my jam here. My very favorite combination is half of the turkey bacon club (on croissant) and half of the chicken Caesar salad. The turkey bacon club:The bacon on the flaky, buttery croissant was smoky and wonderful. The turkey was plentiful. And the cheese was melty. The mayo, lettuce and toms work well on this sandwich. I will definitely have this sandwich again!The chicken Caesar salad:The lettuce was fresh and the Parmesan was plentiful. The Caesar dressing was perfect. The croutons really are homemade--and were my favorite part. I will definitely have this salad again. I've had their signature cranberry/nut salad, chicken salad sandwich and tuna salad sandwich before--all are pretty good but I don't crave them like I will the two items above.The latte was good. I love their coffee. The ambiance is beautiful. The tile in the main room and the different tile in the bathroom are both gorgeous. Good service too. This is a great little unique coffee shop to have a nice lunch!!

Oh my word!! I am originally from Los Angeles, living in Kansas City now. We came to St Joseph's to just visit. Going back to my "oh my word" comment. I just had the best pumpkin bar ever. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. They did not skimp on the bacon.

What a cute little gem hidden in up and coming St. Joe. The neighborhood has seen better days, but recently has seen a boost in new shops and restaurants with a hipster feel. The cafe is reminiscent of small neighborhood coffee shops, mixed with Italia touches. Tables are scattered throughout, with a hidden nook for private conversations. Their menu is diversified, but still offers the standard cafe offerings. The chicken salad was sampled on this trip , and had an herby edge to it. The broccoli soup is slightly watery, but great flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and welcomed long conversations. A major plus? The space can be rented by the hour. They also allow outside food/drink. Unheard of , but greatly appreciated. We used it for them for an event today, and were so overwhelmed by the owners/staff. Very accommodating and easy to work with. Great space, and easily customized for your event. Thanks to the Pronto cafe staff- you made our day easier!

Great place to stop off 29 and support local business. Food is exceptional. Will come again!

The cafe is too slow at lunchtime rush hour. In the summer the metal tables get very hot & will brand you if you aren't careful.

Food is always fresh! It's unique and and a great place to take visitors in town. They have awesome salads, sandwiches and desserts. Never disappointed.

So several weeks ago, I found myself having driven to St. Joe with friends and we were hungry after our long drive and saw Pronto as we were driving around. At first glance it looked like just a coffee house. Oh nay nay! It is a full on cafe and they even have live music in the evenings at times. We ordered a late lunch. We all ordered the Italian sandwich. It was amazingly good, this had to do with the sandwich being made to order with quality fresh ingredients. We accompanied our sandwiches with Strawberry Basil Lemonade and a chocolate brownie which the nice lady at the counter "talked me into"... No, really she did. I swear... OK, maybe she didn't have to do a lot of talking, but it was really good. We got ice brew coffees that were very good. The quality of their coffee was excellent too.The capper was the great staff and their wall of fame. The staff were all really super friendly, really funny, and knowledgeable. They also have a wall with famous Missouri natives on it. Pretty neat, huh? This place is a true find and I encourage anyone to stop by, I highly doubt you will be disappointed.

A friend and I recently ate at Pronto Cafe during a business trip to St. Joseph, MO. The service was excellent and the decor was charming. It's very clear this restaurant represents a labor of love for the owner. I ate their "Special" which was a Turkey & Cucumber Sandwich on wheatberry with orange marmalade cream cheese, lettuce, and tomato! The sandwich was delicious!As stated the restaurants interior space is warm and inviting. Contrary to the imposing form of the gothic home it adjoins. I did not ask the history of the property, but it would appear to have been a funeral home at one point, now law offices (and possibly a private residence) with Pronto occupying a small corner of the property.Pronto was an enjoyable place for lunch, with a relatively small menu of eclectic and personal takes on rather traditional dishes. If you're in St. Joseph, MO I would definitely recommend them for lunch!

We don't make it to St Joe very often but when we do we will be back! I had the Chicken Bacon and Ranch wrap and my wife had a Salad and Sandwich. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. After lunch I decided to have a hot drink and went for the Cafe Mocha which was awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend this place!

While visiting St. Joe, I stumbled upon this charming little cafe. The cranberry chicken salad was flavorful and satisfying. Love that this place has a drive through!
